The property is beautiful and has such a unique mix of Provence charm and modern design. She loved her edgy aesthetic and slid into her DMs to recruit her to plan her grand outdoor celebration.
The groom wore a custom three-piece suit with a tailcoat designed by David Hart and fully committed to making the right choices when it came to selecting every fabric and finish. We were agonizing over choosing between 50 shades of almost identical grayβconstantly looking at swatches in direct sunlight, indirect sunlight, full shade, and during the night.
It was worth it, though, because we loved the finished product. Meanwhile, Jeni went to Spina Bride in New York City to find her gownβand ended up buying the very first dress she tried on.
I called Spina in a panic, and they allowed me to exchange the dress for another one by the same designer, Lihi Hod. I went back a few months later with a cooler head and picked a less embellished dress in a more streamlined silhouette that was much more my style. I also added a cape by Lihi Hod for the ceremony for a bit more drama. They ended up being perfect! Neither of us love public speaking so we were relieved when the vows were done and we could celebrate with our friends and family at cocktail hour!
We rented a house in Saint-Tropez and spent the next five days hanging by the pool, enjoying the beach clubs, shopping, and eating.
